ciroccojCutesey quote from Daniel on the way back home yesterday:
"How was your day, Daniel?"
"Well. The worst thing that happened today? Christopher James Rae lied to me. My own father! Can you believe that?!"
I had to compose myself before asking him what he meant by that. He was just so dramatic :)
Turned out it was a misunderstanding - Chris had told him his snowpants were in his backpack, but I'd forgotten to put them in.

And it's funny the things you end up discussing with your children. We were in the car yesterday, listening to Gerry O'Kane singing Irish ditties. And we listened to Johnny Be Fair, and somehow end up talking about the meaning of "taboo", genetics, infidelity, tricks, and revenge.
Oh Johnny be fair, and Johnny be kind
And wants me for to wed
And I would marry Johnny
But me father up and said
I'm sorry to tell ye daughter
What your mother never knew
But Johnny is a son of mine
And so he's kin to you.
Now Danny be fair, and Danny be kind
And wants me for to wed
And I would marry Danny
But me father up and said
I'm sorry to tell ye daughter
What your mother never knew
But Danny too is a son of mine
And so he's kin to you.
Now Jimmy be fair, and Jimmy be kind
And wants me for to wed
And I would marry Jimmy
But me father up and said
I'm sorry to tell ye daughter
What your mother never knew
But Jimmy too is a son of mine
And so he's kin to you.
Oh never was there a girl as sad
Or sorry as I was
The boys in town are all me kin
And my father is the cause
If I should thus continue
I might die a single miss
I think I'll go to mother
And complain to her of this.
Oh daughter, haven't I taught ye
To forgive and to forget
And if your father sowed his oats
Still ye need not fret
Your father may be the cause
Of all the boys in town, but still
He's not the one who sired you
So marry who you will.

So... exam starts in 30 min. I've got a double dose of caffeine in me, so I should be able to get through it without falling asleep.
On today's agenda:
